Verified ReviewerCustomer Service
Standing in line for 30 minutes to an hour to be waited on is ridiculous. For a long time, there was only one person work to accommodate customers trying to pay their bill. Please get it together APCO
Preferred solution: Not to have to stand in line while only one person is working, especially when I need someone to check the Kioas for my check

Verified ReviewerPlease don't cut off my power
I'm behind $53, and I was notified my power would be cut off today. I paid $100 yesterday, hoping it's enough to keep me connected.
I'm a disabled veteran living off Social Security, which is $1,453 a month. I've been fighting the VA for over three years to get disability. I have been hit with bills that I can barely pay, even on a good month. I'm selling my possessions as quickly as I can.
Could you please help me?
My SS check comes on the 14th. Sincerely, Allen Clark
Preferred solution: Price reduction

Verified ReviewerWe need a electrical power competitor
Every time it rains - if there's the slightest wind with it, the power's out. Again.
This is what having a monopoly on utilities is like. But they'll sure charge the *** out of that pocket when it's running.

Verified Reviewer |Power still out
Power went out at 6:30 PM. It stopped raining right after the power went out on June 15, 2024.
Online, it stated that the power would be on by 9 PM. It is now June 16th and my power has been out for over 10 hours. No one from the city nor Alabama Power has bothered to remove the tree off of the power line on the next block. Customer service has nasty attitudes and for what?
They have power.
It is now 4:54 AM and they still have not been out to remove the tree or fix the problem. Who is going to replace my food?
- Poor service
Preferred solution: Food replaced

Verified Reviewer |Utterly disgusted one star is way too many
I got a 753-dollar light bill for one month, not even 30 days - complete BS. Then, the following month, it's almost 600, and I get a disconnect notice.
When I call them on the phone, they act stuck up and don't care, like they need a good slap in the face. So, I pay $850 of it. But she says I need to pay 883, or the lights will be cut off the next day.
So, I come up with an extra 200 and only owe 190, but then they're so consumed with phone calls they can't even answer the call. So, I have to spend an hour trying to get a hold of someone – absolutely inexcusable.
- Everything they do they are sorry
Preferred solution: All of the above
User's recommendation: Run away as fast as you can they need to be put under and out of business the way they treat people is horrible
Dusk to dawn light is out

Get a $758 light bill for 1 month which is completely absurd for a little teeny single wide complete robbery then the following month is 500 that puts my bill at 1200 so I pay $850 of it the lady tells me I have to pay 883 or they're cutting the lights off the next day stuck up *** they all are so I pay the 883 I pay actually $150 extra where I only owe 190 then they get overwhelmed with calls and won't even answer the phone spent 1 hour trying to get a hold of somebody so they wouldn't cut my lights off the next day *** I hate them zero stars

Verified ReviewerProblem with unmetered protective light
They don’t care about anything but money.
Ive tried calling but all I get is automated. When the line falls and a kid gets into it or it falls on my house then what am I supposed to do?
Exorbitant charges. In February of this year the bill was close to 700 dollars very close within the months prior and following. The rate they charge you is absolutely damn ridiculous.
Never in the history of my life being an adult have ever seen this kind of bills. The highest bill I have ever seen. I am here to take care of my mother and now I'mTuej finding out how an elderly person gets the shaft!
User's recommendation: Turn off everything unless ya need to cook or freeze.
